🏋️ Player-Coach: John Foraker, Co-Founder and CEO, Once Upon A Farm
Following John Foraker’s posts on LinkedIn is equivalent to bagging a business degree. He is eager to share his hard-earned wisdom with other entrepreneurs and operators and routinely provides enlightening anecdotes, industry perspectives and musings. He’s also a valued mentor and always available to give one-to-one advice to a great many founders.
But at the same time, Foraker isn’t afraid to do the work in the trenches: He’s fully embraced having a celebrity partner at Once Upon A Farm helping to build a kids’ nutrition company that is gradually claiming more shelf space and age ranges. For a guy who once ran a public company, then a division of General Mills, going back to the dairy aisle as second banana to a face from outside the business has been a stunning example of putting results over ego.
